The FDACS emphasizes 2025 Florida Farm invoice

Protection of non -profit donations from bad actors, foreign influence

Published on March 2, 2025

Tallahasee, Florida – Last week, the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson emphasizes the farm law in Florida and its proposal to increase transparency for non -profit organizations by certifying compliance with non -profit organizations when registering the department with regard to potential political activities. The proposal also prohibits non -profit organizations of collecting or asking donations from “foreign countries of concern”.

Commissioner Wilton Simpson said: “Florida should not allow bad actors and foreign opponents to use our non -profit organizations as a secret instrument for influence or political activities. This proposal brings non -profit organizations to the urgently needed transparency and ensures that donations are not guided by enemy nations in order to undermine our values. “

Senator Keith Truenow said: “Florida's non -profit organizations do incredible work in our communities, and we have to make sure that their efforts are not used by foreign opponents or bad actors who pursue a political agenda. This proposal strengthens transparency and accountability and ensures that donations to charity organizations in Florida support legitimate causes – no hidden agendas. “

Representative Kaylee Tuck said: “This proposal from Common-Sense is about strengthening trust and transparency in our charity organizations. If a non -profit organization runs political activities, it should not have a problem that you fully comply with all applicable laws. Floridians earn a clear, honest reporting from the groups that support them with their hard -earned money. “

Representative Jenna Personal-Mulicka said: “Florida takes the lead to ensure that charity organizations are not used as a political slush. We will not allow foreign opponents to contain our non -profit institutions into our affairs, and I appreciate the opportunity to work together on this important topic with Commissioner Wilton Simpson and my legislative colleagues. “

Senator Danny Burgess said: “The protection of non -profit donations and non -profit organizations against bad actors and foreign opponents is only a good policy. Floridians deserve to know that their generosity is not used as a back door for foreign influence. “

In addition, the Florida Farm Bill sponsored by Senator Keith Truenow and representative Kaylee Tuck will support the Florida Agriculture and Florida's farmers, livestock breeders and birds. Prohibition of ESG credit award practices on agricultural producers; Increasing emergency provision; Support FFA and 4-H programs; Expand consumer protection and transparency in a number of regulated industries and much more.
